How Much Is $100 REALLY Worth In Each State?

This map was created using data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and it shows the real value of $100 adjusted to reflect average price levels in each state.

In Mississippi, for instance, $100 would be enough to buy what would cost $115.74 in a place where prices are closer to the national average.

Unfortunately, here in Maryland, $100 is actually worth just about $90...

To be fair, though, it's important to point out that Maryland has the HIGHEST average income in the country! So consider this a little good news, and a little bad news. Mississippi has the lowest average income of all 50 states.

Laurie DeYoung's Kennel Klub: Meet Rizzo

I'm Rizzo, a 50-pound, 2-year-old fun-loving American bulldog. I’m currently available for adoption from my foster home because shelter life was just a little too stressful for me. My foster dad wants you to know that I’m ‘super sweet, eager to play and cuddly.’ I’m also a super fetcher, and love my squeak toys. I’m even learning ‘sit’ and ‘come.’ I’m looking for a playful family who can teach me some more new tricks. Are you game? To meet me, please contact the Maryland SPCA’s Foster Coordinator, Kaitlyn Thomas at kthomas@mdspca.org to set up an appointment.
